Police arrested two youths Thursday evening, on suspicion they were involved the killing of small animals belonging to a school in Yavneh, near Ashdod.
The two teens, both 16-years old, were allegedly part of a group that broke into the school earlier this week.
Members of the group found a small petting zoo in the school, and proceeded to torture small animals kept in the zoo. Several of the animals died from the injuries they sustained during the incident.
One of the arrested youths was brought before a district court Petah Tikva Friday morning, which extended his arrest by three days.
Local police are continuing their investigation into the break-in, and are considering bringing charges of breaking and entering, animal abuse, the unwarranted killing of animals, property damage, and illegal possession of a knife.
